I was looking for a budget friendly place for my reception. I found this place since it was close to many hotels for my out of town guests and was not costly. They answered all my questions were quick to respond to all questions and my wedding planners questions. I have gotten so many wonderful comments on the food since I had a buffet. They also made sure to give my all the information for my other vendors before I left. They were helpful and the drink prices and food prices were the cheapest I found and was great for picky eaters!

We couldn’t be happier with how our son’s wedding turned out at the Bloomington Event Center—it was truly the perfect venue! From start to finish, Jennifer was an incredible resource, guiding us through every detail and answering all our questions with care and clarity. On the big day, everything went off without a hitch—the staff was friendly, professional, and incredibly efficient. The venue itself is stunning, and features like the custom color lighting, built-in stage, and full bar made it feel like it was designed just for us. This space is an absolute gem for any kind of celebration!
